    Jeffrey and Michael bring a much needed podcast to the landscape and nature photography space. The co-hosting aspect keeps it interesting, dynamic, and allows ideas and concepts to develop into deeper conversations. I also appreciate that they keep it light, because photography doesn’t always have to be so serious!! I’m excited to see where they take it!
